Since opening in 2012, the Williamstown waste water plant has had clogging and safety issues, and now Williamstown City Council is taking action to correct an engineering mistake.

Two 140-horsepower pumps clog a few times a year, according to Wastewater Superintendent Mark Miller. And it’s dangerous pulling the pumps out of a 40-foot well to unclog them in order to keep service.

I received a letter from Kentucky State Sen. Wil Schroder concerning Kentucky’s pension crisis. The senator mentioned ideas suggested by the citizens, such as expanded gambling. One would think that, ‘every little bit helps,’ however he added that expanded gambling would not be enough to solve the problem.
